TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the field of security technology for an electric power system, especially relates to a wind power bundling control method after wind power and thermal power are connected to a grid.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

Because of the characteristics of wind resource distribution and development status of power grid in China, “Three Norths” (northwest China, north China and northeast China) that have rich wind resources in China have the characteristics of large-scale centralized development and as wind power plants are generally the terminal of an electric power system, local load is relatively low and power grid is weak, wind power cannot be totally consumed locally, so that it needs to be delivered to other places. However, due to the randomness and volatility of wind power, it is difficult to control wind power delivery. In addition, the annual utilization hours are low, economical efficiency of independent long-distance transmission is poor and volatility of wind power transmitting power is high. All these problems have seriously influenced safe and stable operation of the electric power system.

Considering that the regions with rich wind resources are also of rich coal resources, if the wind power and thermal power are “bundled” together for delivery, through coordinated control of wind power and thermal power, it not only can guarantee “bundling” delivery cross-section not exceed the stability limit, reduce fluctuations of the line power while fully using wind resources and taking full advantage of transmission channel, but also can improve reserve capacity of the system. Further, it is also beneficial to the security and stability of the system and significantly decreases power supply cost of the receiving end as well.

At present, wind power and thermal power “bundling” coordinated delivery has been widely used in China. A lot of researches have been made on “bundling” control strategy, objectives of which mainly focus on optimizing generation scheduling of a thermal power generating unit, reducing fluctuating power of a transmission line, improving wind power consumption capacity, solving the problems as thermal reserve capacity of a grid reduces and optimizing wind-thermal structural proportion that are generated during wind power and thermal power “bundling” coordinated delivery. However, few researches have been made in optimal control of wind-thermal power coordination.

Embodiment 1

FIG. 1 is a flow chart for the wind power bundling control method after the wind power and thermal power are connected to a power grid. As it is shown in FIG. 1, the wind power bundling control method after wind power and thermal power are connected to power grid put forward in the present invention, comprises:

Step 2: calculating a transient stability margin of the grid λ_(Sl), a load level index of the element λ_(L) and a voltage out-of-limit index of the busbar λ_(U) respectively after regulating wind power output and thermal power output.

The transient stability margin of the grid λ_(Sl) after regulating wind power output and thermal power output is calculated with the following formula:

$\begin{matrix} {\lambda_{Sl} = {\sum\limits_{\gamma}\;\left( \frac{P_{i - 1}}{P_{i - 0}} \right)}} & (1) \end{matrix}$ wherein, γ is the set of key cross-sections, which can be confirmed with the interprovincial cross-sections and the important cross-sections in the province defined in Annual Operation Mode issued by different provincial electric power companies. P_(i-1) and P_(i-0) refer to the stability limits of the i cross-section before and after regulating wind power output and thermal power output forward/backward respectively, and 1≦i≦k and k represents the number of the elements in the set of key cross-sections. PSASP (power system analysis software package) is adopted to calculate P_(i-1) and P_(i-0), which are the stability limits of cross-section before and after regulating wind power output and thermal power output offline.

The load level index of element λ_(L) after regulating wind power output and thermal power output is calculated with the following formula:

$\begin{matrix} {\lambda_{L} = {\sum\limits_{l \in \alpha}\;{\rho_{l}\left( {S_{l}/S_{l}^{\max}} \right)}^{2\; n}}} & (2) \end{matrix}$ wherein, α is a set of system elements, namely the set of transmission lines and transformers with voltage class of 330 kV or above; ρ_(l) is a weight factor of the system element l, value of which takes the number of its load rate; S_(l) is the power of the transmission line l, which can be obtained directly from EMS (energy management system) of the electric power company control center, and during offline calculation, the power of any transmission line can be calculated through power flow calculation with PSASP (Power System Analysis Software Package); S_(l) ^(max) is the upper limit of the power of the transmission line l; S_(l) ^(max) is rated transmitting power of the element on this transmission line and it can be calculated with the formula S_(l max)=√{square root over (3)}U₀I₀ cos φ, wherein, U₀ is the rated voltage of this line, I₀ is rated transmitting current and cos co is the power factor, which generally takes 0.95; S_(l max) of the transformer is the value on the nameplate; n is the parameter used to prevent masking effect from happening during calculation. If selecting n as 1, not only masking effect can be avoided, the requirements for calculation speed also can be met, and its description for the difference of limit level is also very appropriate.

The voltage out-of-limit index of the busbar λ_(U) after regulating wind power output and thermal power output is calculated with the following formula:

$\begin{matrix} {\lambda_{U} = {\sum\limits_{\beta}\;{\rho_{i}\left( \frac{U_{i} - U_{i}^{SP}}{\Delta\; U_{i}^{\lim}} \right)}^{2\; n}}} & (3) \end{matrix}$ wherein, β is a set of busbar, namely the set of transmission lines with voltage class of 330 kV or above; ρ_(i) is a weight factor of the i busbar; U_(i) is a voltage amplitude of the i busbar, the value of which takes the number of load rate; U_(i) is the voltage amplitude of the i busbar, which can be obtained directly from EMS (energy management system) of the electric power company control center, and during offline calculation, the power of any transmission line can be calculated through power flow calculation with PSASP; U_(i) ^(SP)=(U_(i) ^(H)+U_(i) ^(L))/2 and ΔU_(i) ^(lim)=(U_(i) ^(H)−U_(i) ^(L))/2, U_(i) ^(H) and U_(i) ^(L) refer to the upper limit and lower limit of voltage amplitude of the i busbar respectively. Generally, according to the regulations of security and stability guide of the State Grid Corporation of China, the upper limit of the voltage amplitude of the busbar is 1.1 times of rated voltage of this voltage class and the lower limit is its rated voltage; n is the parameter used to prevent masking effect from happening during calculation. If selecting n as 1, not only masking effect can be avoided, the requirements for calculation speed also can be met, and its description for the difference of limit level is also very appropriate.

Step 3: calculating wind power/thermal power paying value according to the transient stability margin of the grid λ_(Sl), the load level index of element λ_(L) and the voltage out-of-limit index of the busbar λ_(U) after regulating wind power output and thermal power output.

Calculating wind power/thermal power paying value according to the transient stability margin of the grid λ_(Sl), the load level index of element λ_(L) and the voltage out-of-limit index of the busbar λ_(U), the following formula is adopted: λ=ω₁·λ_(sl)+ω₂·λ_(L)+ω₃·λ_(U)  (4) wherein, ω₁, ω₂ and ω₃ are set weight factors of the transient stability margin of the grid, load level index of element and voltage out-of-limit index of the busbar respectively and

${\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{3}\;\omega_{i}} = 1.$ Weight factors ω₁, ω₂ and ω₃ are confirmed according to actual conditions of the power grid, which are generally set value.

Step 4: if wind power/thermal power paying value is larger than the set threshold value, regulating wind power output and thermal power output backward/forward; if wind power/thermal power paying value is smaller than set threshold value, regulating wind power output and thermal power output forward/backward.

After regulating wind power output and thermal power output as Step 4, wind power output and thermal power output can be confirmed with EMS and this result is output power of wind power and thermal power after wind power bundling control.
